Jammin' in the Hammock, 2014

Music lovers who wanted to hear some live picking and reconnect with the old Florida had two distinct choices over the weekend. They could join 50,000 others heading down to the Everglades Seafood Festival in Everglades City, taking the chance of backing up for miles on State Road 29, and hear country bands in a sea of beer and bikers.
